if there are still 2L spots left (it doesn't say 0) does that mean lottery selections are still coming out? or are they all generally released at the same time/we're out of luck if we didn't get anything yet?

I'm assuming those are the number of spots open for people who were selected as "alternates."

I got my #1 bid through the lottery selection but got nothing from preselect or alternate. It indicates that chances are pretty slim to get the job and chances are pretty high that I am not an attractive candidate, right? I will have to fly to CA only to have this interview so have to make a tough decision. What do you think, guys?

If it says "alternate accepted" does that mean we got the alternate spot unless there is a scheduling conflict? Or does everyone get "alternate accepted" even if you were, for example, the 5th person to accept out of 3 spots?

I'd like to think so, but pretty sure that's wishful thinking. A classmate of mine got a lottery pick with a firm she already has screener with through a different channel, which makes it seem highly unlikely the firm had any say in the BADCF lottery picking her (now she has to cancel the redundant BADCF interview).
